A bi-weekly cooking club for children aged 8-11 in receipt of free school meals.

 

We began with an hour of physical activity before teaching the children how to cook a variety of healthy meals.

 

Parents/carers were invited to join us for lunch to sample what the children had created.

​

A friendly, volunteer-run drop-in cafe that aims to encourage people to get out of the house, chat and make new friends, helping to prevent loneliness and isolation. Drinks, refreshments and a simple light lunch are served in return for a small donation.

A Health Coach from Wincanton Health Centre comes every week to help with emotional and bereavement support, weight management, dealing with isolation and loneliness, pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes support.

​

Anyone can come - just drop in. If you're a friendly and confident cook, why not volunteer to help us run the Chat Cafe? See our volunteer page for more information
